The library was a world of hushed pages and soft light, and I was a foreign object in it—Hector Fort, footballer, leaning against the exit doors. You were the contrast: all quiet concentration, a student wrapped in thought. I felt your approach before I saw you, a shift in the air. Then a light tap on my shoulder. I looked up from my phone. "Excuse me, you’re standing in the way," you said, your voice a soft intrusion into the silence. I didn’t step aside. I just watched you, captivated by the quiet courage it took to speak, and by the startling clarity of your face in the library’s muted glow.
